Abstract

Development, urbanization, industrial activity and increasing fossil fuels leads to air pollution in many parts of the world, followed by rapid growth of cardiovascular disease.Kermanshah city as a metropolis is no exception of this issue. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between air pollutants and climatic factors referred to the extent of cardiovascular patients in hospital is Kermanshah city. This study is cross-sectional and ecological. In this study, data on the number of cardiovascular patients, the concentration levels of air pollutants and weather conditions were collected from the city of Kermanshah.To determine the association between cardiovascular patients admitted to hospital and air pollutants, poisson regression was used (P value<0.05). Based on the results of poisson regression among air pollutants and climatic factors including carbon monoxide, particulate matter, temperature, precipitation and pressure were associated with the number of cardiovascular patients referred to hospitals, with relative risk of 1.006, 1.123, 0.989, 0.956 and 1.05, respectively. The results showed the reduction of temperature and increasing of pressure led to increasing the number of cardiovascular patients. Based on the results, there was a significant positive association betweenair pollutants (mainly carbon monoxide and particulate matter) and the total number of heart patients admitted to hospitals in Kermanshah. However, due to heart diseases are multifactorial, in addition to air pollution other factors have key roles in creating and exacerbating of cardiovascular diseases. The present study confirms previous studies on the adverse effects of air pollution as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the community. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology.
